The magazine does address its goal of reaching out, but I was surprised to see it had so much emphasis on worship style, and has a surprisingly strong bias towards contemporary worship forms, even in articles that aren't specifically worship related. I would have greatly preferred if the magazine focused less on worship, and more on actual missional, evangelistic outreach ideas to reach and connect with people in our communities and world.
If you are a part of a very modern church that utilizes ever-changing signs and banners, a rock band, and powerpoint in worship, then I highly recommend this magazine for youit will honestly help you do what you are doing in a more Godly way.
If your church is more traditional or orthodox, this magazine will still have some good ideas sprinkled throughout, but be prepared to be slightly put off by regular insinuations in the articles that you're doing something wrong in your worship.
I'll continue to read the magazine, but don't think that I'll save past issues or share them with others as much as I had hoped.
